  • Thanks. So nice to hear some feedback <3

    You are right about the story. I crafted the whole thing a bit more hasty than the last ones. It should be longer and have an actual story and maybe some new characters. I also need to improve my writing. I tried a more playful style for this one, because its adventerous and so on, but its too inconsistent.

    I’m thinking about extending and re-writing it, but am not sure if I will find the time. Thanks anyways :)


  • Ok, I see. To be honest, I didn’t put as much thought in this than in the last stories. Maybe it would have worked if it was longer … I will think about it! Thanks anyway for the feedback.

    And it isn’t very Solarpunkish 😉

    the use of “open web” etc makes it too up front as well

    That’s true. But otherwise, I don’t think the idea would have come across

    Well yes, but Solarpunk also supported dezentrality 😇

  • That would still have been an interesting way to explore these questions. Royalty does not exist in a vacuum, it is a product of many principles that Sheeta and Pazy would not be fan of (not even Muska I bet).

    That’s true. Could certainly be interesting, I mean, they build the whole thing and probably spend a few generations there.

    But thing is, Miyazaki is very anti-tech. He did not want Laputa to be a dream followed by solarpunk, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale about the fall of technological societies. It prefered to focus on the destructive powers rather than on the post-labor utopias that the Laputa robots could have brought.

    I would call his relationship with tech ambivalent, because the tech of Laputa is primarily positive and exists in harmony with nature. It just falls into the wrong hands.
